- 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
Swedish Meatballs
- Combine all ingredients for meatballs together.
- Roll into meatballs about 1.5 inches to 2 inches.
- Bake for 12 minutes at 375 degrees F.
- Place oil into pan. Once hot, place caraway seeds into frying pan for about 10 seconds stirring.
- Add in meatballs.
- Keep a lid in hand, pour in vodka, place lid on and cook on low for about 3 minutes to burn off alcohol.
- Add jelly or strawberry jam, and pour over the meatballs.
- Add heavy cream stirring. Cream will thicken to a gravy. Turn off heat.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Top with fresh dill.
- Serve over rice or cauliflower rice or mashed.
- As an option you can dollop some unflavored yogurt on top and finish off wiht more dill. I skipped this.
Notes
Sugar Free Jam or Jelly brings sweetness. A sugar free cranberry sauce would be perfect, but not always in season. One substitute I tried was balsamic vinegar (the syrupy one) and added AFTER the heavy cream, because it can burn in the pan.
